The lock out started in September.

UNITE HERE members in the Mid-Atlantic Region are mobilizing to support our brothers and sisters in San Francisco. Please join us on Tuesday, November 9 to support the locked out members of Local 2.

BREAD AND PUPPET

Bread & Puppet is Here!!!
The most wonderful participatory artistic experience in the entire universe beckons you.

BREAD AND PUPPET THEATER'S
FIRST WORLD INSURRECTION IN CAMBRIDGE

A POST-ELECTION RUCKUS PLAYED OUT FROM NOVEMBER 4-21

(Cambridge, MA) The Bread and Puppet Theater presents the First World Insurrection, a post-election ruckus played out in Cambridge, November 4-21. Performances and Symposium held at the Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre / Durrell Hall, 820 Massachusetts Avenue, Central Square, and Art Exhibit installed at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University, Main Quad on Mellen St. (off Mass. Ave.), between Harvard and Porter Squares. Both venues are wheelchair accessible. For advance tickets, on sale from October 18th on, and information on all events call the Cambridge Family
YMCA (www.cambymca.org) at 617-661-9622, extension 706.

Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his band of eight Vermont puppeteers will join forces with 20 local puppeteers and the Cambridge-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band. Their residency in Cambridge includes three puppet shows (a double-bill geared towards adults and one "family-friendly" show), a "Now What" political art symposium, and an exhibit showcasing Schumann's visual artwork. Each of these opportunities will include the traditional serving of Schumann's famous sourdough rye bread (baked in a temporary outdoor oven in the YMCA parking lot), drizzled with garlic-laden aioli, and the sale of the theater's "cheap art." In November, the city of Cambridge will indeed be the stage upon which much artistic discontent is set - with a few laughs thrown in!

Double Bill of Evening Shows:
WORLD ON FIRE and HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: a Parable of War and Its Making November 4-14, Thurs.-Sun., 8pm (first week); Wed.-Sun., 8pm (second week) $10 general admission for both shows [groups of 10 or more $8]; held at the Cambridge Family YMCA

Monday, November 8, 7pm

Peter Schumann's Visual Art Installation:
THE U.S. SENATE READS AN EMAIL BY THE LATE RACHEL CORRIE TO HER PARENTS
November 9-21, gallery hours, 9am-8 pm daily; opening reception and artist's talk, Tuesday, November 9, 4-7pm free and open to all; held at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University

Featuring the Bread and Puppet Theater's signature masked characters and giant papier-mache puppets, the individual shows and art exhibit are described below.

WORLD ON FIRE
A group of National Emergency Clowns demonstrates official reactions to the ultimate emergency. The music is by the Asymmetric Prisoner-of-War Orchestra, consisting of local volunteer performers, and their conductor, the Fire Chief.
HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: A Parable of War and Its Making
With the help of the National More-More-More Society, the Student of Success is taught a lesson: how the transformation of distress into success transforms success. The Population is a child in the arms of Truth. But Truth gets employed by the Executive to ready the Population for war. War is learned in a butcher's shop. The dance of the Collateral Damage Dancers concludes the lesson. The puppets are from cardboard; the music is live and includes an ancient Georgian chant.
UPSIDE DOWN WORLD CIRCUS
The circus features upside-down figures, a group of First World representatives trained by a lion, Thomas Jefferson and his patriotic cheerleaders, Gerrard Winstanley and his band of Diggers, the Rotten Idea Theater Company's distillation of political issues and much more, all accompanied by the B&P Circus Band. Political fun for the whole family!
THE U.S. SENATE READS AN EMAIL BY THE LATE RACHEL CORRIE TO HER PARENTS
Peter Schumann dedicates this installation to Rachel Corrie who died at the age of 23 in Palestine in 2003 as she tried to stop a bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian home. Her email is dated February 27, 2003.

(Background of the theater) The Bread and Puppet Theater was founded in 1963 on New York City's Lower Eastside by 70-year old Silesian-born sculptor and choreographer, Peter Schumann. In 1969 a nine-month tour of Europe won recognition and critical acclaim for Bread and Puppet. In 1970, the Theater moved to Vermont as theater-in-residence at Goddard College, letting itself be influenced by living in the countryside. Four years later the Theater moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where a 100-year-old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. Bread and Puppet Theater does massive spectacles in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Their pageants have a broad theme-oriented appeal to large non-elite audiences. They address social, political and environmental issues or simply the common urgencies of our lives. Some of the awards received by Peter Schumann and Bread and Puppet are the Obie Award, the Erasmus Award from Amsterdam, the Vermont Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, UNIMA-USA's Citation of Excellence and the Puppeteers of America President's Award. Bread and Puppet is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theater companies in the United States.

Emergency Fallujah Protest

Emergency Demonstration: Stop the Fallujah Attack! U.S. Out of Iraq!
Tues. 11/9, 5pm
Powell & Market, San Francisco

Top U.S. Marine in Iraq Calls for Massacre in Fallujah
U.S. troops entered the western outskirts of the city on Monday seizing a hospital and two bridges over the Euphrates River. The U.S. has surrounded the sealed off Fallujah and is preparing to launch the complete destruction of the city. They have told the people that any traffic on the street is now subject to attack and any males between the ages of 15 and 55 who go outside will automatically be killed by the U.S. soldiers. The U.S. is terrorizing and bombing the citizens of Fallujah every night, recently targeting and fully destroying its emergency hospital, collapsing homes around families, dismembering children. Many of the 300,000 population have fled for their lives, everything they have ever had left behind or destroyed.

Now the top enlisted Marine in Iraq has called on his troops to commit war crimes against the tens of thousands of remaining residents and what stands of that proud and historic city. Referring to the assault on the ancient citadel city of Hue, destroyed by U.S. soldiers in Vietnam, Sgt. Maj. Carlton W. Kent told an assembled group of 2,500 Marines in a "pep-talk": "You're all in the process of making history. This is another Hue city in the making. I have no doubt, if we do get the word, that each and every one of you is going to do what you have always done - kick some butt." (AP, November 7 2004)

The U.S. moved to reoccupy Hue after Vietnamese forces has liberated it in the Tet Offensive of 1968. The Under Secretary of the Air Force, Townsend Hoopes, described the results of the U.S. assault on Hue in a March 1968 memo as leaving "a devastated and prostrate city. Eighty per cent of the buildings had been reduced to rubble, and in the smashed ruins lay 2,000 dead civilians... Three quarters of the city=EDs people were rendered homeless and looting was widespread, members of the ARVN [U.S. backed South Vietnamese troops] being the worst offenders." (Noam Chomsky's forward to the papers of the 1967 International War Crimes in Vietnam Tribunal)

The resistance in Iraq is carrying out coordinated efforts across the country to dislodge U.S. occupation forces with attacks on police stations and other targeted representatives of U.S. puppet installations. In recent days many U.S. soldiers have been badly wounded and there is more to come as the U.S. military leadership predicts the most bloody urban fighting since Vietnam. The U.S. is using all of its firepower, night vision, high-tech weaponry, and bombing capacity against defenseless civilians as well as resistance fighters primarily armed with Kalishnakov rifles and improvised explosive devises. With all this military might, the U.S. is unable to stop the Iraqi people from fighting for their national sovereignty. The U.S. installed "prime minister" of Iraq has today declared martial law in Iraq for the next two months aggregating even greater unilateral authority.

This is no time for anti-war and progressive people in the U.S. to "mourn," dwell and lament on the failure of the Democratic Party candidate to defeat the Republican Party candidate, at least not those who are really committed to ending this criminal war and securing justice at home. If nothing else, we all know that if Kerry was President-elect, nothing would be different for the people of Iraq right now. Kerry has not condemned the bombings of Falluljah at any point, nor the attacks on the Iraqi people, nor the use of U.S. soldiers as cannon fodder in this war of aggression and conquest.

Now the people of Fallujah wait for the next attack, and the U.S. soldiers wait for their orders to carry out actions that they will have to reconcile for the rest of their lives, if they survive.

A.N.S.W.E.R. activists across the U.S. are planning emergency demonstrations the DAY AFTER a reinvasion of Fallujah. We call on other committed organizations and activists to also initiate such actions, at local federal buildings, recruiting stations, or traditional public assembly locations.

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL & SPEAK-OUT

To make it known that there is still a mass movement
against the Bush administration. Not a march to protest the election of Bush, but rather to protest the policies of his administration.

Location:
5:30pm, step off from Haigis Mall (near the bus stop), UMass, march
to the Amherst Commons

We Will Not Be Silent: Continue to Protest the Bush Agenda!

*We need to show ourselves, other Americans, and the world that resistance is alive and well*

On Tuesday, November 9th at 5:30 p.m. there will be a gathering at the UMASS Haigis Mall (near the bus stop) and those gathered will be marching to the Amherst Commons for a candlelight vigil/speak-out. The objective of this
march is to make it known that there is still a mass movement against the policies of the Bush administration even in the face of Tuesday's election results. We'd like to make it clear that this is not a march to protest the
election of Bush, but rather to protest the policies of his administration.

Please spread this info far and wide!

Location:
We'll be meeting at the UMASS Haigis Mall (bus stop) and then marching to the Amherst Commons.

New Persons' Meeting

A one-hour-long open house for those interested in finding out how to become part of the Flywheel Collective. Flywheel is a volunteer-run, non-profit, arts, performance, and community space in Easthampton. Governed by consensus, Flywheel believes that art and information should be equally accessible and affordable to all people.

You can get involved by volunteering just a few hours a month at a show, by becoming a member-booker (creating your own events - the only limits are your imagination), or by getting into the inner workings of the collective's "hub," the group that meets twice a month to make decisions of great and moderate importance. You don't have to figure it all out now -- come to a New Persons' Meeting, find out more, hang around, and see what moves you.

If you can't make Tuesday nights, please contact us at volunteer-AT-flywheelarts.org. We'd love to have you join us!

(And we'll train you in anything you might be interested in.)

Location:
Flywheel, 2 Holyoke St. (Rte 141) Easthampton MA 01027

Argentina Autonomista Project

ARGENTINA AUTONOMISTA PROJECT: FALL TOUR 2004

@ UMASS-AMHERST
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 7PM
CAMPUS CENTER, ROOM 162-175
Free and open to the public.


*Grassroots Speakers
*Multimedia Presentations

Argentina, the IMF poster child of the nineties, collapsed in December 2001 and defaulted on its huge debt. A wealthy South American country until recently, Argentina now bears the wounds that result from almost 30 years of corporate plundering: half of the population lives below the poverty line and almost a quarter of the population is unemployed. Although born in a land that feeds millions of people worldwide, Argentinean children die of hunger everyday.
Argentina is also the place where an ongoing direct democracy movement has developed. This movement has become a living laboratory of creative struggle -a space where the politics of the future are being reinvented.


The argentina autonomista tour Multimedia Presentations:

Bread and Puppet artists Damiano Giambelli and Cristina Disccaciatti from Italy visited Graciela Monteagudo in Buenos Aires to build a puppet show about the history of Argentina's social movements with special emphasis on current events: Que se vayan tod@s: a cardboard piece. This piece is a combination of songs, puppets, acting and storytelling. It has successfully toured the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as!community centers, universities and colleges in northeastern United States including Duke, Vassar, Cornell, and many others.

The puppet show is an introduction to an array of lectures, workshops, slide shows and video presentations on:

-the unemployed workers movement (the "piqueter@s" who build community projects in their neighborhoods)
-the "asambleas" (the horizontally-organized neighborhood meetings)
-the "trueque," (barter network which is massively used instead of money)
-the workers who occupy and manage more than 200 workplaces
-the special participation of women in the movement.
-the history of Argentina and its relationship with the United States and the international lending institutions.


FALL AUTONOMISTA TOUR INFO:

Soledad Bordegaray, Movement of Unemployed Workers (MTD - "piqueter@s") La Matanza, Argentina and Claudia Acuna of La Vaca will be touring the US and Canada during November 2004 with Graciela Monteagudo, coordinator of the argentina autonomista project.

Soledad Bordegaray is a co-founder of the MTD La Matanza, an an unemployed workers organization that has created through a direct democracy process an amazing array of microenterprises, an organic community garden, and an elementary school!

Claudia Acuna is a Human Rights organizer and award winning independent journalist and co-founder of La Vaca (www.lavaca.org, a web based counterinformation agency). Claudia is also the main organizer of Alerta Salta (www.Alerta-Salta.org.ar), a solidarity campaign with the piqueter@s of the UTD Mosconi, and three different indigenous organizations presently struggling to get their lands back from the US based Seabord Corporation.

Graciela is an Argentinean Human Rights organizer and community artists who will be presenting a slide show and a full length puppet show (Que se Vayan tod@s! a carboard piece) about the history of the Argentinean social movemens.

In addition to spreading word about the Stop Seaboard campaign in solidarity with the Ava Guarani and Kolla people of northern argentina this tour will also mobilize around the upcoming demonstration to shut down the School Of the Americas (Nov. 19-21). SOA graduates murdered two piqueteros in Salta, Northern Argentina, where members of the UTD (Union of Unemployed Workers) Mosconi, one of the most well-known piquetero movements in Argentina, face violence by the hands of the government of Salta, who wish to criminalize protest and protect enormous petroleum companies like Repsol.
